People v. MP
Our Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. The Police allegedly saw our Client urinating in public and approached to investigate. The Officer claimed that he needed to pat our Client down for officer safety reasons, and asked our Client if he had any weapons on his person. It was at this point that our Client supposedly said "I don't have any weapons, but I do have some 'molly' in my pocket." The Officer then went into our Client's pocket and recovered MDMA. All charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing including the urinating in public ticket.
People v. CW
Our Client was charged with Unlawful Use of a Weapon by a Convicted Felon. The Police had a search warrant for our Client's house. When the police arrived they found that there was a party going on at the house. There were allegedly 30 - 50 people present including our Client. After detaining everyone, the police searched the house and claimed to find a handgun in the kitchen and bullets in the bedroom. We took our Client's case to trial. We argued that there was no way the police could show who the gun and who the bullets belonged to. We argued that "a 1 and 50 chance that our Client possessed either the bullets or the gun is NOT proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt!" The judge agreed. Our Client was found not guilty on all counts!
